Memories - 1969


I made this layout at a class at a crop in the spring but didn't have any photos for it. I wanted to use some music-related photos. Then I remembered the one photo I had of me (I'm on the left) and my girlfriend playing the guitar back in 1969. So I scanned the photo and made into two to fit the layout. It isn't the greatest photo, but the only one I have of me playing the guitar, a favourite pastime of mine in my teens.

Waimea Canyon - Kauai, Hawaii 2009


Based on a layout I saw in the Sept. CK magazine, here is the Waimea Canyon Lookout. It is also know as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.

Everything used was old product from my stash except the real wood alphas (Plaid) stained with Distressing Ink (Tim Holtz).

St. Thomas - 2011


Title: I Can See Our Ship From Up Here

Done for a DT challenge at ScrapShotz, this layout was done using all Making Memories products.

This is the view we saw from a hill overlooking St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. You could just see our ship tucked in one of the bays.

Wrong View - 2011

This is the view of the Philadelphia skyline on the first morning of our vacation. It was SUPPOSED to be a view of a tropical paradise from our Cruise ship. But since we had missed our flight, we were stuck overnight in Philly.....

This project was done for the August Layout Tag over at ScrapShotz.





Hats off to the United Way - 2006




This layout shows our United Way team wearing the hats that we each made for the United Way kick-off in 2006. I suggested that we all make hats representing different types of houses (since we all worked at Canada Mortgage and HOUSING Corporation). Page 1 shows a close-up of each house and the page 2 all the people in the group.

The layout is a bit "busy" for my taste and is done using a CTMH kit and sketch. But it's done and there you go....
